Let's end this heartbreak

Paralympic great backs our campaign

- LAURA CONNOR and AMANDA KILLELEA

OUR most decorated Paralympian has backed calls for an end to “heartbreaking” period poverty.

Dame Sarah Storey, who has 17 gold medals, has joined the likes of Spice Girl Mel B and author Giovanna Fletcher to support the Sunday Mirror’s End Period Poverty campaign.

We are calling for England and Wales to be brought in line with Scotland by making sanitary products free to women and girls.

Dame Sarah, 45, who is mum to Louisa, nine, and five-yearold Charlie, told how she had heard of kids offering to give their pocket money back so their mums can afford to buy the period products they need.
